The Association of Computing Machinery (ACM (http://lyle.smu.edu/orgs/acm/). originally had six members in 2008 and has since grown 700%, into over 50 active members. The ACM worked with organization leaders to develop the this organization through a personal work relationship and were able to share their ideas about various opportunities to promote member growth and encourage students to build a legacy on campus. There are also mentor programs available which enable engineering students to acquire professional knowledge and guidance, while creating a network of professional engineers, professors, deans and fellow peers.
By providing engineering students Technology Career Fairs, students are able to find co-ops, internships and full time jobs.
